Deterrance will work better than disarmament alone, however, what works better than both of those options is the establisment of a mutually beneficial relationship.

Take away the weapons and they will find some other means (i.e. a plane).

100% correct, however, if you forge a successful relationship, there is no more 'they'. I know this isn't always immediately possible, and as such is even more of a long-run plan than the deterrance option - It is however, the safest position to be in.
